The information about the FDIC's enterprise architecture is out-of-date and inaccurate.
The FDIC's framework for implementing its [[Enterprise Architecture]] is based on Federal and industry best practices, including the Chief Information Officer (CIO) Council's [[Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework]] (FEAF) and the [[Zachman Framework]] for Enterprise Architecture. FDIC's framework has been tailored to emphasize [[security]]. The FDIC EA framework complies with the FEAF and highlights the importance of security to all other components of the architecture.<ref name="FDICOIG05"> [http://www.fdicoig.gov/reports05/05-018-508-figure1.shtml Implementation of E-Government Principles] AUDIT REPORT, Report No. 05-018, May 2005</ref>

The FDIC EA framework includes five components. The first component, the Business Architecture, focuses on FDIC's business needs. The next three components, the [[Data Architecture]], Applications Architecture, and Technical Infrastructure Architectures, focus on the technological capabilities that support the business and information needs. The final component, the [[Security Architecture]], focuses on specific aspects of interest to the Corporation that span the enterprise and must be integral parts of all other architectures.<ref name="FDICOIG05"/>
